Proposed Bill Would Spare Vapor Products from FDA Regulation

2036

The Cigarette Smoking Reduction and Electronic Vapor Alternatives Act establishes new standards for e-liquids, stating that one year after enactment that all e-liquids, and vaping devices, would have to meet manufacturing standards established by the bill. It also would require the FDA to consider harm reduction within the terms outlined by the Tobacco Control Act.

The FDA deeming rules went into effect on Aug. 8, 2016 and required any product brought to market after Feb. 15, 2007, get approval from the FDA within two years. Products that were already being sold in the marketplace before that date would have grandfathered status and not subject to regulation.
